As the conversation commenced, Dermot prompted Brandreth for insights on the Prince Andrew story. However, Brandreth interrupted, stating, “I don’t want to talk about this. I will, but I don’t want to.” This clear frustration indicated his desire to shift focus from the royal saga to other significant matters.
Highlighting an Important Event
Brandreth redirected the discussion towards a notable event involving the King.
